DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Ferreira Tawny Port is made from classic Douro grapes: Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Amarela. The grapes are picked by hand, gently crushed and fermented on their skins. Grape spirit is added partway through to stop the fermentation and keep the natural sweetness.
The young wine rests in the Douro over winter, then moves to the lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia to age in oak casks. The final blend uses wines aged two to five years, about four years on average. It has a red hue and a fresh, delicate nose of spice and nuts from the oak. On the palate it is elegant, with mature tannins balanced by sweetness and a long finish.
Serve it lightly chilled, around 55 to 60°F, in a small wine glass. Before dinner, pour it with a bowl of nuts. After dinner, try it with apple pie, caramel or coffee desserts, custards, or a strong blue cheese like Roquefort. Keep an open bottle in the fridge.
Bottle size: 750ml
